 ****************************************************************************
 
+ - The Q_COMPILER_xxx macros for C++14 compiler features introduced in Qt
+   5.3 are deprecated and will not be updated for new compilers either.
+   User code should be changed to use the macros from Standing Document 6
+   instead:
+   http://isocpp.org/std/standing-documents/sd-6-sg10-feature-test-recommendations.
+   This does not affect C++11 feature macros.

+****************************************************************************
+*                        Important Behavior Changes                        *
+****************************************************************************
+
+ - QExplicitelySharedDataPointer's copy constructor which performs a
+   static_cast from "X *" to "T *" (when constructing a
+   QExplicitlySharedDataPointer<T> from a QExplicitlySharedDataPointer<X>)
+   doesn't perform a static_cast from "X *" to "T *" any more. Instead, an
+   implicit cast is now performed. This change will break compilation of code
+   that relied on the downcast (i.e.  cast towards a more derived type) of the
+   templated type when copy constructing a QExplicitelySharedDataPointer
+   object. Please refer to the class documentation for more information about
+   this issue and a workaround to keep old code compiling.
+ - QImageReader now automatically rotates JPEG images according to Exif
+   orientation
+ - [QTBUG-18980] HarfBuzz-NG is now the default shaper on all platforms.
+   This results in a better shaping results for various languages, better
+   performance, and lower memory consumption.
+ - [QTBUG-41858] Changed QStringRef::right() to be consistent with
+   QString::right(). The function now returns the N right-most characters,
+   like the documentation already claimed.
+ - The mutable Java-style iterators like QListMutableIterator and
+   QHashMutableIterator no longer set the parent container to unsharable
+   mode. If you create a copy of the container being iterated on after the
+   iterator, any changes done with the iterator might affect the copy too.
+
+ - Logging (including qDebug and qWarning):
+   * Support for the deprecated environment variables QT_NO_JOURNALD_LOG
+     and QT_ANDROID_PLAIN_LOG has been removed. Instead, set
+     QT_LOGGING_TO_CONSOLE to 1 to force logging to the console (stderr).
+     Set that variable to 0 to force logging to the system-specific event
+     log (if any).
+   * [QTCREATORBUG-12564] Log output will now go to the system log (if
+     support for it was compiled into Qt) if the application has no
+     controlling terminal or console window. Set QT_LOGGING_TO_CONSOLE to 1
+     to force logging to go to stderr.
+
+ - QSettings:
+   * [QTBUG-41812] QSettings::value() now returns an invalid QVariant when
+     passing an empty key. The code path ran into an assert, which was only
+     noticeable in debug builds.
+   * [QTBUG-21739] The locking mechanism inside QSettings has changed
+     and is no longer compatible with the one of previous versions of
+     Qt. There might be corruption if two applications running different
+     versions of Qt are writing to the same config file at the same
+     time. You must also now have write permissions in the directory
+     containing the settings file in order to write settings.

+
+QtConcurrent
+------------
+
+ - [QTBUG-17220] run() now optionally takes as its first argument the
+   QThreadPool to run the task on.
+
 QtCore
 ------
 
  - Added QEnableSharedFromThis, a class that allows obtaining a
    QSharedPointer for an object already managed by a shared pointer.

+   and drives
+
+ - Logging:
+   * QT_MESSAGE_PATTERN can include a backtrace using %{backtrace}
+   * Added QtMsgType argument to QLoggingCategory constructor and
+     Q_LOGGING_CATEGORY macro that controls the default category
+     configuration.
+   * File, line, function information are not recorded anymore for logging
+     statements in release builds. Set QT_MESSAGELOGCONTEXT explicitly to
+     enable recording in all configurations.
+
+ - QAbstractProxyModel:
+   * [QTBUG-39549] QAbstractProxyModel now forwards the drop-related API.
+
+ - QByteArray:
+   * Added convenience methods to convert directly to and from std::string.
+   * Fixed a bug that would cause QByteArray to stop converting toUpper or
+     toLower at the first embedded null character.
+
+ - QCommandLineParser:
+   * Added addOptions() method.
+
+ - QElapsedTimer:
+   * Is no longer a POD; its default constructor now initializes the object to
+     an invalid QElapsedTimer
+
+ - QFlags:
+   * [QTBUG-39786] Added initializer_list constructor
+
+ - QFuture:
+   * [QTBUG-17220] Can now be used with any QThreadPool, not just
+     globalInstance().
+
+ - QPair:
+   * Can now be used in C++11 constexpr contexts.
+
+ - QSaveFile:
+   * Now follows symbolic links when writing to a link instead of

+     DataLocation is deprecated in favor of AppDataLocation.
+
+ - QString:
+   * QString can now split a string to a list of QStringRef.
+   * Added the QStringRef::split() function
+
+ - QTextStream:
+   * QTextStream now uses group separators when writing floating-point
+     numbers when the locale is not the C locale. The old behavior can be
+     restored by setting QLocale::OmitGroupSeparator on the locale.
+
+ - QTimer:
+   * [QTBUG-26406] Implemented new style connect syntax, including
+     functors, in QTimer::singleShot
+

+     initializer lists.
+
+ - QtMath:
+   * Introduced qNextPowerOfTwo methods.
+
+QtDBus
+------
+
+ - Blocking calls that take a long time will now generate a warning. The
+   time taken may be tuned using the environment variables
+   Q_DBUS_BLOCKING_CALL_MAIN_THREAD_WARNING_MS and
+   Q_DBUS_BLOCKING_CALL_OTHER_THREAD_WARNING_MS. The value represents (in
+   milliseconds) how long before a blocking call is warned about. A value
+   below zero disables the warning, a value of zero will warn about all
+   blocking calls.
+
+QtGui
+-----
+
+ - Added QPixelFormat class.
+ - [QTBUG-38168] QtGui's OpenGL headers are now automatically including the
+   highest available header (gl31.h, gl3.h or gl2.h) in OpenGL ES builds.
+ - [QTBUG-36483] Dynamic OpenGL implementation loading is now supported on
+   Windows. This requires Qt to be configured with -opengl dynamic.

+     without any data loss.
+
+ - QGuiApplication:
+   * Add support for -icon command line argument on X11, add -qwindowicon
+     on all platforms.
+   * Added QGuiApplication::screenRemoved signal to inform that a screen
+     has been removed, before Qt reacts to it.
+
+ - QImage:
+   * [QTBUG-25998] Added support for 10-bit per color channel image
+     formats.
+
+ - QOpenGLBuffer:

+     mirroring the result.
+   * Added support 10-bit per color channels formats as the internal
+     framebuffer format, making it possible to render in that precision.
+
+ - QOpenGLTextureCache:
+   * Added support for uploading common QImage formats directly to OpenGL,
+     if supported by the OpenGL implementation.

+     will help when debugging problems caused by a mismatch with the
+     run-time version.
+   * [QTBUG-1565] Support for loading PKCS#12 bundles was added. These are
+     often used to conveniently transport keys and certificates,
